For those who can't afford commercial software, and for those who want full flexibility and extensibility and future-proofing the ability to open their own art work years from now, there's free open source software:

* #Krita: replaces Adobe Photoshop for editing and painting; https://krita.org/

* #Inkscape: multi-page, replaces Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign; great for scientific figures and posters; https://inkscape.org/

* #Gimp: image editor, with layers and transparencies; replaces Adobe Photoshop; https://www.gimp.org/

* #MyPaint: just for painting; https://mypaint.app/

* #FijiSc: for image processing and image analysis, with conventional computer vision techniques and also machine learning. Handles multi-dimensional bioimagery. https://fiji.sc

* #Blender: for 3D animation and video editing; https://blender.org

* #ffmpeg: command-line based video editing; see this page https://ffmpeg.lav.io/ for testing out commands.

I don't use anything else: there's no need. And all of the above are extensively documented.

The nonprofit Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has awarded George Washington University a grant of $685,000 to establish an Open Source Program Office (#OSPO) on campus.

“What we want to do with GW’s OSPO is coordinate and support #OpenSource software across campus and to help researchers discover and embrace #OSS and contribute to creating a culture of open collaboration and knowledge sharing.”

Non solo non è costretta, ma valutanto il rapporto costi/benefici proprio non lo dovrebbe fare praticamente mai. La #PA è uno di quegli ambiti dove l'#OSS (e in particolare il #FOSS) dovrebbe essere proprio obbligatorio

Hello Fediverse 😀
We are starting this account for Qt Project related communication, events, and many more things.

Did you know that there is a simple page that gives you the instructions to contribute to Qt? and also you can get some nice plots to see the activity on all the repositories!

https://contribute.qt-project.org

Out of curiosity: do you know who was the most prominent sponsor at #OSI when they refused the #SSPL?

Calling the SSPL a "proprietary license" on this ground is a bit misleading.

It's not an opensource license if and only if OSI gatekeeping is what qualify #OSS (hint: it doesn't, they always refuse this responsibility): they did not give their bless, because license proliferation, yadda yadda... but they blessed the #CAL license which was much more... "innovative".

MongoDB's license is a slightly modified #AGPLv3 but... OSI won't beat the hands that feed them, right?


ok... this wasn't expected... # # driver.
